I feel sorry for our fans living in delusions. No matter what the PCT throws at India, India does not look like losing. There is a big gap in skill and quality.
Ok Ravi.

2 bouncers an over and abuse them every ball. No mercy watch them buckle. Especially the transvestite Gill and Abhi.
Pakistanis constantly disown those who accept reality and reject delusions.Ok Ravi.
Tell your captain to stop doing that...Pakistanis should stop mixing politics with cricket .
Pls close this thread
Pakistanis have large heart, they should be forgivingTell your captain to stop doing that...

Surya has played 7 T20Is against Pakistan so far and he has a batting average of 18.50 against them.So is captaincy the reason behind slump or is he on a downward slope already?

Could be captaincy. SKY never had a box office IPL season. For the time in 2025 he had a box office IPL season. But captain was Hardik Pandya.So is captaincy the reason behind slump or is he on a downward slope already?

I'm no fan of Sky, far from it.He is a fraud
True, a batter with 166 strike rate and 36 average can never match the aura of Duck Farmer Ayub.He is a fraud who need just one or two super innings to hide his failures, can't forget his masterclass yesterday
Even rizwan was no 1 batsman in rankings....these rankings are as useless as surya kumarI'm no fan of Sky, far from it.
But if someone who was ranked no.1 in T20 rankings for a longish period of time, is a fraud, what'll you call Pakistani batsmen?
So, when one team dominates the other for a few matches, does the rivalry become extinct? Even in hockey, Pakistan still leads the head-to-head record, although India has performed better in recent encounters. Does that mean the rivalry has ended in hockey also?After Surya Kumar yadav now Hockey star Hardik Singh drops bold remark
'India-Pakistan competition no longer exists'
India is well ahead of Pakistan and there is no competition between us.

Must hurt to have your MEN get a beatdown from someone called Tilak2 bouncers an over and abuse them every ball. No mercy watch them buckle. Especially the transvestite Gill and Abhi.
Lol, India didn't even need those 2, Abhishek and GillMust hurt to have your MEN get a beatdown from someone called Tilak![]()
Overall number will be overhauled by India by end of this decade I feel. Its 79-88 in cricket or will it be hockey where the record stands at 67-82.ONE-SIDED AFFAIR
India vs Pakistan head-to-head in T20Is
Matches - 16
India won - 13
PAK won - 3
An astonishing win % of 81.3 for India

Even the mighty Aussie team had close matches with minnows and lesser teams many times. That doesn't make any team their rival. They still won all their matchesIt’s still a rivalry and still engaging specially in T20 formats recently.
2021 WT20 match (Pak won for a change)
Followed by
2022 Asia Cup (both t20 games)
2022 WT20 match
2024 WT20 match
2025 Asia Cup final
They all have been close matches.
Where did he say this now? Is it today?Suryakumar Yadav said, “I’ll again say rivalry is when the competition is neck to neck. 11-0 is not a rivalry. If our women's team focuses on playing good cricket, it will be 12-0”.

Yes latest on start spotsWhere did he say this now? Is it today?
Pakistan leads 88-80 in Cricket and 82-67 in Hockey.Overall number will be overhauled by India by end of this decade I feel. Its 79-88 in cricket or will it be hockey where the record stands at 67-82.
Last 10 years:
Cricket: Its 15-3
Hockey: Its 16-0 with 2 draws

Not just performed betterSo, when one team dominates the other for a few matches, does the rivalry become extinct? Even in hockey, Pakistan still leads the head-to-head record, although India has performed better in recent encounters. Does that mean the rivalry has ended in hockey also?![]()
The hockey rivalry has well and truly ended. Bcoz Pakistan does not even qualify for WC or Olympics. Its basically a no-contestNot just performed better
Total domination by India in hockey
Some absurd 16 wins 0 losses or something vs Pakistan
Yes I was talking about the Aussie all time great ODI and test team of the 2000s. They were the greatest ever but that doesn't mean they didn't have close games.Aussie is not a mighty t20 team
Only mighty odi team
Lol at pretty close Asia cup final. Just because they didn't keep hitting as target was close, doesn't mean the game was close.The hockey rivalry has well and truly ended. Bcoz Pakistan does not even qualify for WC or Olympics. Its basically a no-contest
Cricket rivalry will remain as we keep getting WC and Asia Cup matches. And some of these T20 games are pretty close like the Asia Cup final or the 2022 MCG game.
Samson was already out though. Axar was still in the dugout.Lol at pretty close Asia cup final. Just because they didn't keep hitting as target was close, doesn't mean the game was close.
If the target was even 30 runs more, they could have easily hit before and chased it with samson and Axar still to come
They just chased comfortably by going slower.
Was the match close? I'd say it was sufficiently close but not a nailbiter.Samson was already out though. Axar was still in the dugout.
in this pic , who is that tall lady 3rd from left ?

10 runs in the last over -- you'd place your bets on the side batting with 5 wickets in the bag.
It'd take a Bumrah 'special' to defend that kind of score in the final over. That doesn't really happen that often.
So the odds were against Pakistan, for sure. Their bowlers just couldn't break through after the initial burst.
The main wicket takers, Shaheen and Abrar were pretty much ineffective, despite a good ER for Shaheen, because there was no way Pakistan were going to defend 146 against India's batting line up.
The Pakistani batting line up did a spectacular choke job but the bowling failed too.
That's the problem with stuffing the team with too many all rounders (so-called all rounders, rather). You weaken your bowling, although I doubt there were bowlers on the bench who could have taken wickets had they played instead.
Yes, if the bowling can contain the Indian batting, then it's definitely a good strategy.Ultimate blame for the defeat goes to the batsmen for losing 9 wickets for 33 runs. The captain made a mistake by not persisting with spin when the wicket aided it but Rauf was the biggest culprit, he failed at his job in the death overs.
India is a batting powerhouse and 9 times out of 10 they will chase targets. The only chance I will give the Pakistani team of achieving an upset if they have to chase against the Indian team. Our two T20 wins against the Indian team have occurred via chasing in Dubai under lights and dew.
India was the most imbalanced side in terms of combination in the Asia cup..it went with only one genuine fast bowler in Bumrah with Shivam Dube opening the bowling is itself a huge gamble..It didn't work in our favour as they had built a huge opening partnership..one of our opening batsman is a mediocre T20 player and selected based on some favouritism and as expected he didn't do anything great in the games..we had a wk batter who was forced to play in a position where he had never played before and also got limited opportunities through out the series..And he lost his flamboyance even though he played some crucial innings..we had dropped out no 1 ranked fast bowler to play another fast bowler who was not in his prime form post his injuries..we have a captain who didn't perform well post his captaincy..we had added a player to the line up in the final who didn't even get a chance to bat the whole tournament..we had overall went in with a disaster recipe and still won the game almost convincingly barring the initial hiccups..that shows how worst the opposition is..any top sides team would have exploited our weaknesses..however the fake rival pakistan just played like they were destined to loss this match even though they had various advantages during the game..this is not rivalry..mere residue of the finished rivalry.Yes, if the bowling can contain the Indian batting, then it's definitely a good strategy.
But if the game against SL was of any indication, a big enough score on the board would have caused added pressure while chasing. There wasn't too much dew to count on as well.
Pakistan took out SL and BD's best batsmen early (Nissanka and Saif Hassan) and eventually won the game. They took out 3 Indian top-order batsmen, including the guy who was the highest scorer in the tournament, but still fell short.
That, ultimately, was the difference. The other teams were not balanced enough, while India's was, to a much greater extent.
Having too many part-timers also didn't help.
India went with 1 fast bowler because of the pitches. They opted for 3 specialist spinners instead. Shivam Dube opened the bowling because of Hardik's injury.India was the most imbalanced side in terms of combination in the Asia cup..it went with only one genuine fast bowler in Bumrah with Shivam Dube opening the bowling is itself a huge gamble..It didn't work in our favour as they had built a huge opening partnership..one of our opening batsman is a mediocre T20 player and selected based on some favouritism and as expected he didn't do anything great in the games..we had a wk batter who was forced to play in a position where he had never played before and also got limited opportunities through out the series..And he lost his flamboyance even though he played some crucial innings..we had dropped out no 1 ranked fast bowler to play another fast bowler who was not in his prime form post his injuries..we have a captain who didn't perform well post his captaincy..we had added a player to the line up in the final who didn't even get a chance to bat the whole tournament..we had overall went in with a disaster recipe and still won the game almost convincingly barring the initial hiccups..that shows how worst the opposition is..any top sides team would have exploited our weaknesses..however the fake rival pakistan just played like they were destined to loss this match even though they had various advantages during the game..this is not rivalry..mere residue of the finished rivalry.
